Going for it!

I realize niche markets are the craze now, mostly because a good one will earn money quickly if optimized.

I am wanting to go the opposite direction. I want to develop a website (just one) for a competitive keyword (65 million results for the keyword on google) 100,000 daily searches on google and the top 10 results have a PR of 5-7, several backlinks and gov, edu links. None of the websites have the condensed content for top keywords and few have the keyword in the title (they are wikipedia-like sites).

My question is, if I build the website, add relevant and fresh content over time and do my SEO over the course of 5-10 years, could I ever reach the first page of google and make the big bucks? Has anyone here had success with a highly competitive keyword when done slowly and consistently?

  • What you want to do is access the other pages on the first page of google for your keyword.
    How well optimized are they for your keyword? Do they have it in their domain, title, description. What kind of backlinks do they have to their site? Are they all PR0, or high PR3, 4, 5?

    These factors will give you an idea of what it will take to outrank them and if it's possible.

    My advice would be, sure go for it, but in the meantime, build a few smaller sites as well which you will rank quicker, just to keep you motivated. You can always have your big website as a side project if you like.

    All the best, and hats off for your ambition.

      It's very possible and faster than you think, find the right contact or mentor and take action.

  • It depends on how much money is behind the keywords.

    if its "Credit Card" - could be pretty hard
  • Niche markets were always the "craze" and will continue to be that way.

    The number of results is mostly irrelevant.

    Is that exact match searches?

    Certainly possible, but it depends entirely on you budget, determination and popularity.

  • he researched these top ten, he found all the keywords they had and analysed the content they had.
